I'm
Carla
Reeves,
and
this
is
Differently,
a
podcast
where
we
explore
the
ins
and
outs
of
what
becomes
possible
when
we're
willing
to
think,
do,
and
show
up
differently
to
the
moments
of
our
everyday
lives.
Imagine
how
dusty
your
home
would
be
if
you
hadn't
dusted
for
months
or
maybe
even
years.
Would
you
even
recognize
that
once
remarkable
furniture
you
treasured
findings
so
many
years
ago,
or
see
the
charm
and
appeal
that
drove
you
to
buy
your
home
to
begin
with?
The
same
is
true
for
your
relationships.
It's
natural
for
dust
to
appear
in
relationships
too.
And
over
time,
that
dust
builds
and
builds
and
eventually
prevents
us
from
seeing
the
magic
that
drew
us
together
in
the
first
place.
There
are
things
that
occur
inside
of
relationships
that
cause
this
dust
to
build.
First,
in
relationships
in
life,
it's
common
and
normal
for
us
to
endure
small
upsets
and
misunderstandings
and
thwarted
expectations.
We
don't
address
them
at
the
time
they
happen,
thinking
they're
not
that
big
of
a
deal.
But
over
time,
those
upsets
and
misunderstandings
become
the
dust
of
your
relationship.
And
second,
we
tend
to
avoid
conversations,
leave
projects
incomplete,
promise
something
we
never
finish.
Over
time,
these
small
things
too
build
up,
and
if
never
addressed,
they
form
a
haze
or
a
cloud
or
a
barrier
to
our
aliveness
and
connection
with
others
and
the
world
around
us.
This
applies
to
relationships
and
friendships
and
family,
even
your
team
and
your
colleagues
and
your
coworkers.
It's
natural
in
relationships
for
stuff
to
happen
and
pile
up
over
time.
But
we
all
know
that
when
our
key
relationships
aren't
right,
it
impacts
everything.
The
good
news
is
it
doesn't
have
to
be
this
way.
And
there
are
specific
steps
that
you
can
take
to
restore
the
connection
and
the
magic.
And
the
most
important
thing,
keep
it
alive.
Remember,
I
shared
in
that
last
episode
about
my
fear
around
the
bliss
monster
coming
in
and
taking
all
of
our
joy
and
happiness
at
some
future
unknown
date.
The
antidote
to
that
is
to
take
the
reins
and
do
the
work
to
ensure
that
you
keep
the
joy
and
magic
alive
in
your
life.
And
this
is
a
practice
that
we
created
inside
of
our
marriage
called
sweeping
that
actually
allows
you
to
ongoingly
cultivate
an
environment
where
you
can
thrive.
Imagine
a
relationship
where
you
both
have
a
commitment
to
clearing
the
dust.
This
means
that
as
things
happen,
instead
of
brushing
it
aside,
you
address
it
simply
and
directly
and
let
it
go.
In
some
relationships,
it
only
requires
you
doing
the
initial
work.
And
then,
as
one
of
my
clients
said,
it's
contagious.
I
call
this
sweeping.
The
artist
sweeping
might
sound
corny
to
some,
but
it
has
the
potential
to
change
the
quality
of
your
relationships
forever.
I
never
thought
it
was
possible
to
fall
in
love
over
and
over
and
over
again,
but
guess
what?
It
is.
And
this
is
not
only
possible
inside
of
a
marriage
or
a
relationship,
but
with
your
friends
and
even
inside
yourself
and
your
everyday
life.
Because
as
you
keep
your
own
mind
swept
and
clean
and
clear,
you
can
keep
falling
in
love
with
your
life
too.
The
practice
of
sweeping
is
a
commitment
to
addressing
the
little
things
as
they
happen
or
shortly
after
so
that
they
don't
build
up.
This
is
key
to
keeping
the
spark
alive
in
yourself
and
in
your
everyday
life.
Just
like
we
sweep
and
dust
our
homes,
the
same
holds
true
in
our
life.
This
practice
is
a
game
changer.
Here's
how
you
can
get
started
sweeping.
Grab
a
notebook,
scan
your
life,
make
a
list
of
the
areas
that
need
sweeping.
Look
to
the
things
that
have
been
hanging
over
your
head
that
you
keep
stewing
about,
maybe
a
conversation
you
had
that
never
felt
finished.
Maybe
it's
unfinished
projects
or
things
you've
been
avoiding
or
promises
you
made
and
never
fall
through,
followed
through,
incomplete
conversations,
and
on
and
on.
Write
all
those
down.
Explore
next
in
your
journal
how
you
plan
to
sweep
this
area
and
write
about
the
positive
impact
it
would
have
to
get
it
complete
and
let
it
go.
Continue
to
practice
step
by
step,
line
by
line,
little
small
actions.
Practice
it
weekly
and
use
this
first
month
to
create
a
plan
and
a
practice
for
an
ongoing
habit
in
your
life.
Don't
worry
if
you're
thinking
I've
never
swept,
and
there's
tons
of
dust
around
here.
The
key
is
that
you
just
get
started
bit
by
bit.
And
as
you
do,
that
sparkle
in
and
around
you
will
emerge.
I
promise.
This
is
an
incredible
practice
to
harness
and
maximize
your
energy
and
aliveness.
It's
recommended
on
a
regular
basis.
Unfinished
business
of
all
kinds
robs
your
precious
energy.
Imagine
the
places
that
you
can
put
this
newfound
energy.
Here's
just
sweeping
your
relationships
and
expanding
love
all
over
your
life.
Not
just
this
month,
but
a
practice
to
keep
alive
for
all
of
your
days.
If
this
stood
out
to
you
or
if
you
know
a
friend
who
would
appreciate
knowing
about
sweeping,
please
pass
it
along.
Have
an
amazing
day.
Thank

Differently.
I
hope
it
stirred
your
thinking,
and
I
